[Outro]
 
Just The First Half Chorus Chords (G,D,A(Riff)
 
                               This was my first tab submitted (be ohnest)
 
 
Notes:
 -This song is preferably
  finger-picked using you
  thumb to pick the bass notes
 
 -The pattern for picking is
  bass then higher strings
 
 -there's a hammer-on over the
  Dsus2 on the B-string (B|-0h3-|)
 
 -If you are wondering what Bbdim
  means it's B flat diminished
 
 -There is a bass line walk down
  after G there is a G/F# which is        _____G/F#____
  simply for prescion not too much       | E A D G B E |
  of a noticeable thing but my technique | 2 x 0 0 3 3 |
  for it is when making a G to walk      |      or     |
  up to an G/F# simply use your          | 2 2 0 0 3 3 |
  middle finger to mute the A-string     |-------------|
  and your index to hit the F# or if
  you wanted you could simply move your
  middle finger where your index was and
  put your index on the F#

The only problem with it is it's missing a G/F# after the verse G chords. It goes Dsus2, G, G/F#, Em7, etc Obviously not a big deal as it's not a wrong chord, just a missing bassline. But still, that's my only suggestion :)

It's all good really - you would sound just fine playing it with these chords. Goombas noted the G/F# thing. He's right, but no big. I noticed that the A is actually an A7 most of the time (being the 5 chord of D) but again, no big. I think you might have missed E7 chord tab at the beginning. No big deal. I use these with my guitar students and it's close enough that I don't have to do much work on it to make it right. Thanks for your effort.
